  • I just need help

    So I started back on Atkins after having the baby, was on a week and then went to my Dr. and he put me on a very low calorie diet. Well I am STARVING!! I am going to go against that and start back on Atkins tomorrow. I feel like I am drowning. I need to have surgery but I can not have the surgery until I am 255 lbs. then my BMI will be in the "safe" range for anesthesia. And I feel like I will never even get to that. And talk about having your rock bottom moment! I have never been so humiliated in my life! Could you imagine how embarrassing it would be to be told you are too fat to have surgery?! I guess you know you have a real problem when you can't even have surgery because of your weight! I could have just disappeared when he was telling me that. I have all my groceries bout I need to start tomorrow. So the plan is just to get back to it, drink lots of water, and exercise. I have been doing my elliptical because its to cold to walk with the baby right now. But I can only do eight minutes on the elliptical right now before I am so pooped! Sorry to complain I just truly feel like I am stuck and I will never get rid of this weight!

    welcome back to atkins. 8 min on your eliptical a couple times a day to start is great. you will be surprized how fast your improve your stamina once you get going with your atkins eating and exercising.

              Hey C.---8 minutes is Better than ZERO minutes.
              Maybe next week will be 10 minutes.

              Stay Strong, you will Do Fine!

                start your eliptical at the easiest part level 0 resistance I think or 1 lol I could not that for the life of me would die after 5 minutes, so I started at the beginners and was able to just get the hang of it and put in the strength now I am up to 35 minutes, I still die after it but it works..just get your body used to the whole thing without resistance and then when you have gotten into the groove move one up.
                highest 230 ---- started atkins------current 175 lbs
                July 2009 ---------12/20/2009 ---------03/18/2010
                <------------------>

                I started atkins in late november but every other week just sort of fell off the wagon and was not working out..late december I started to really follow it and added the gym from november to december I only lost like 7 lbs not following it right..from december to march 18 I lost 50 lbs give or take depending what mood my scale is on lol.
